KENNEWICK, Wash. – College Cellars of Walla Walla, the winemaking program for Walla Walla Community College, remained at the head of the class for the Tri-Cities Wine Festival by using a 2016 Barbera to claim the title of best of show in 2018.
A year ago, College Cellars topped Washington state’s longest-running wine competition with a semi-sparkling Muscat grown at Inland Desert Vineyard near Red Mountain. Last month, they beat out 379 entries for the top honor.
“We and our students are proud to win this award back-to-back,” Sabrina Lueck, instructor of enology at College Cellars, told Great Northwest Wine via text. “Our program has built relationships with regional grape growers so that our students have access to high-quality fruit, frequently from less conventional varieties. It is very rewarding to see the enthusiasm and appreciation for the two very different styles of wine.”
Tim Donahue, the school’s director of winemaking, and Lueck sourced the Barbera from one of the state’s most historic sites – Ciel du Cheval Vineyard on Red Mountain. Results from the competition were announced and celebrated Nov. 10 at Three Rivers Convention Center in Kennewick. A number of the students staffed the College College booth at the public tasting.
“We are thankful that the Tri-Cities Wine Society provides a platform for our student wines to be judged with their peers,” Lueck said. “The annual festival provides a great opportunity for our students to gain festival experience. We’ll be back!”
College Cellars also earned a double gold medal and best of class for its 2016 Cockburn Ranch Vineyard Syrah and a best of class for its 2017 Sauvignon Blanc. A number of College Cellars products earned best of class awards in the Tri-City judging, include Victor de la Luz (De la Luz Wines) and Victor Palencia (Jones of Washington, Vino la Monarcha), as well as double gold medals for Marcus Miller (Airfield Estates) and Shane Collins (Tsillan Cellars, now at Rocky Pond Winery).
Yakima Valley Vintners, the viticulture and enology program at Yakima Valley College’s Grandview campus, earned a double gold and best of class for its 2017 Study Skills Chardonnay as well as a gold medal for its 2015 Dean’s List Primitivo.
Fistfuls of gold for Basalt Cellars, Coyote Canyon
There were 117 wines that received a gold medal or better. Among the multiple winners were Basalt Cellars in Clarkston (six), Coyote Canyon Winery and its reserve brand H/H Estates in Prosser (five), Airfield Estates in Prosser (four), Daven Lore in Prosser (four), Market Vineyard in Richland (four), Succession Wines in Manson (four), Tsillan Cellars in Chelan (four), Brian Carter Cellars in Woodinville (three), Cairdeas Winery in Manson (three), Desert Wind Winery in Prosser (three) and Pend d’Oreille Winery in Sandpoint, Idaho (three).
And the judging panel was particularly smitten by the non-grape and mead entries. Sky River Meadery in Redmond, Wash., amassed an astounding eight gold medals, including best of class for its Sweet Brochet Mead. Hidden Legend Winery in Victor, Mont., went back to Big Sky Country with five gold medals.
Tri-Cities Wine Festival’s top wine sells through quickly
This year marked that the first time in the judging’s 40-year history that a brand has repeated as best of show, although Smasne Cellars and Russell Creek each took the top award twice within a three-year span. And Russell Creek, a brand in Walla Walla now owned by Washington Wine Hall of Fame inductees Dick and Wendy Shaw, is the only winery to have won best of show three times. That came in 2010, ironically enough with a Sangiovese – the only other time an Italian red variety has been given the top award.
Alas, there were only 50 cases — two barrels — of the top bottling at the 2018 judging.
“The award generated a lot of consumer interest for the 2016 Barbera,” said Lueck, whose duties within the viticulture and enology program include that of brand manager. “Our students had already released the wine to the wine club because they thought it was showing very well. The last of the bottles were snatched up during the fall release weekend after the Tri-Cities Wine Festival.”
A number of the Northwest’s most famous producers earned best-of-show honors early on in their careers. Seven times, a Merlot has paced the judging, a list that includes the Leonetti Cellar 1983 Merlot for the 1985 festival. On five occasions, it has been a Cabernet Sauvignon. Among the early winners was the Woodward Canyon 1984 Cab in 1987.
